Baptism this Sunday at Faith

Visit our church web site  faithbaptistcovington.net

I am beginning a new three week sermon series titled "God-Centered" this Sunday morning. One of the major characteristics of the early church was joy!  Yet we find little joy among Christians today.  Join us as we begin this series on what a God-Centered life will look like. Got Joy?   Rejoice always   1 Thessalonians 5:16 (NKJV)      Jeff will be preaching this Sunday night on "Time To Grow Up".  Many Christians haven't moved beyond childhood,  Paul in Hebrews reminds us it is time to move into spiritual adulthood. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. 1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits.               Hebrews 5:12-6:3 (NKJV)
